JONESBORO!!


What a week. I said my goodbyes to everyone in Russellville Monday and Tuesday. Surprisingly it wasn't hard to say bye to them. I know I will see them very soon. Wednesday I was transferred to JONESBORO. It is like two times the size as Russellville. About 70,000 people. It's a small adjustment going back to the big city, but so far I love it! 
My companion is HERMANA MITCHELL!! We are opening this area up for Spanish sisters. There was a set of English sisters here but they took them out and put us in. I love Sister Mitchell. She is from St. George, Utah, loves to run and tells me everyday how much she loved working at Hokulia and how she loves Curtis. 
The past few days have been going through the area book, and trying to find people to teach. Friday night we were planning and decided to look through the area book. As we were praying Sister Mitchell thought of the name Susan. After the prayer we opened the area book to a random page and the name was Susan Bishop. We immediately knew we needed to visit her. There was no phone number or address. They last visited her in 2011. Somehow we needed to find her. We tried finding a phone book, or calling the previous missionaries to see if they knew her, but they had never heard of her. We decided to look through the phone and her number was in there. We immediately called her... it was 9:45 at night, and she answered. We set up an appointment the next day. We went there Saturday night.. she lives about 25 miles out of Jonesboro. It was amazing. She lives by herself, and has health problems. She was bit by a brown recluse spider 4 years ago and is still having problems from it. We don't know exactly what will come out of this experience, she does have a baptism date for September, but we do know that God knows each one of his children individually. He loves us all. It was such a neat experience to feel that love he has for her as we sat and talked with her. 
Other than that neat experience, we have been relying on the Lord every single minute and we know this is exactly where we both need to be! 
We went to the ward yesterday. It is in English and then they translate for the few Hispanics that come. I already love it here. It helps that I have a great companion that is obedient and loves to work. We are seeing lots of miracles and are learning and growing! 

I love you all! 
Love,
Hermana Warner
